clueless 2,963 #1 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Just got back from Scott's Meet and Greet last weekend with a couple of side trips on the way home. Indianapolis Motor Speedway Tour and of course Maker's Mark distillery tour, any time I'm in Kentucky, This was my first real Wheel Horse show and it was amazing! Many beautiful tractors. Scott and his family put on a great event. Met a lot of Red Square members and now can put some faces with some name. Everyone I met was very friendly and hospitable. Just what I expected. It was a little cold but even a wimpy Florida guy didn't think it was that bad. Still have my keister, Racing Bob. Did some trading with Jake with a 400 burb in some disarray for some 3 piece trans work. Jake and his dad, great people. If I ever do grow up I want to be like Jake. For a while it looked like I was going to be the one who came the furthest distance, but then I noticed some ladies who looked a bit out of place for a Wheel Horse tractor meet. I finally asked one of them where they were from and she said they had just flown in from California but were originally from China. Very impressive. Didn't sell my 520H wheel set or my steering wheel, nobody seemed too interested. That's when I noticed the truck bed looked empty so I bought another 400 burb with snow blade and a tub cart. Whats a guy gonna do. If we ever get a foot or more of snow in Northwest Florida, I'm set. Once, again I want to thank Scott and his family for putting this outstanding meet together, and I may be back next year! Who knows there may be someone from Australia next year since this thing has gone global! -Chris in Florida.Here are the pictures of the new burb.

Retired Wrencher 5,329 #5 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Some Day I will have to make it out to the Roots of Wheel Horse country. And explore the vast country side and it`s people. And of course always looking with one eye on the side of the road for those Red tractors. Sounds it was a nice trip Chris. Where is Pace on the East or West side?

Racinbob 10,864 #7 Posted October 7, 2015 Glad you had a good time and your keister is still attached Chris. Scott does put on a great show. I was there in 2013 and was hoping to go again this year but my wife's work got in the way. We lived about 30 miles from there for 45 years and have family there that we visit. Like Craig said, ya gotta post some pics of your new 400. I'd love to come visit but even being in the same state you're still over 450 miles away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,064 #8 Posted October 7, 2015 Chris,It was a real pleasure getting a chance to meet you and I am very honored that you would take the time and resources to spend the day with us. Our conversations were great and I am glad you stopped by on Friday so that we could have a chance to chat a bit. I am glad you made it home safely and are even considering coming back next year, we would love to have you.That 400 you picked up traveled a bunch of miles in a few short days. It started in the back of a truck in Missouri, headed to our show up in Northern Indiana, and then hopped in your truck and made it all the way back down in Florida!!!!I had a great time with everyone and am thankful for the folks that want to spend the day with us.........Year #7 has to be good weather right????? :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
